Love and (R)evolution: A Conversation with Artist and Activist Lydia Emily

Oct 30, 2024 11:30am - 12:30pm
University Library: Jack & Florence Ferman Presentation Room

Join us for a conversation with artist and activist Lydia Emily as part of the Remnants of Resistance podcast series. Considered by many to be one of the preeminent female street artists of our time, her large-scale murals have appeared all over the world. Her art is deeply political, and our conversation will explore the relationship between art and politics alongside intersectional identities and resistance, the focus of much of her work. Her mural on Skid Row honoring a survivor of sex trafficking is the longest-standing untouched and untagged mural in Los Angeles, a sign of deep respect in the street art community. 

Lydia Emily is a spokesperson for the MS Society and is the subject of the documentary The Art of Rebellion. Her memoir, The Art of Hope, was published in 2024.
